The 1955 Ramblers Reveille Presented by the Senior Class Woodville High School JVoodville, Mississippi Dedication To show our appreciation for the many kind deeds, the unending patience and love, the many times you have given up your time and energy during the past twelve years, and all other things you have done for us which we do not have words to express, we, the Senior Class, dedicate this, the 1955 Rambler's Reveille, to you, our own beloved parents. We, the staff of THE RAMBLERS REVEILLE, have tried to make an annual which would present our school as you would like to remember it. In years to come may you turn through these pages and recall the happy months at old W .H.S.

Class Will Pearl Walker and Bessie Tillery We, the class of 1955, in the town of Woodville, the county of Wilkinson, and the state of Mississippi, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. H. L. Stutzman wills his very studious ways and his intelligence to T. O. Sessions. Margaret Pearl Walker wills, with all good wishes, her beautiful blonde hair to Ozelle McCurley. Cania Celeste Hutson wishes to leave her love and attraction for an out-of-town boy to Betty Sue Leake. Joyce Anderson and Sylvia Ann Evans leave their great talent in athletics to Lora Mae Dooley and urge her to be star of the basketball team next year. Gwendolyn Ann Stuart wills her fickle way to Louise Smith. Brandon Inman and Mark Curry tip their hats to Freddie Leake as they leave him their Don Juan way with women. To Tobie Joe Morris, Edward Walker leaves his false teeth. May he be successful as he chews on through lifel Emil Habig leaves his ability to make straight A's to Alvin Glentiss Havard. To Cecil Wheeler, Sylvester D'Aquilla leaves his naturally curly hair. Charles Sturgeon and Clyde Leake leave their athletic ability to Dudley Hopson, who we know will use it. Nelda Elaine Sumrall leaves her love of a good time and her ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time to Peggy Dooley. Martha Pogue leaves her love for an argument and her fickle ways to Inez Sharp. Ted Denstel wants to lose some weight, so he wills it to poor little Billy Joe Jones. Ted Nowell and Norman Carter leave their ability to work to Thomas Smith. Marilyn (Monroe) Flaccomio leaves her fame and figure to Gail (Russell) Morris. John Edward Thomas and Henry D'Aquilla leave their muscular frame and their shoe size to Melvin Wheeler, hoping that he may someday half-way fill them. Junior David and Charles Alvin Plitt leave their studious ways and love for books to Alvin M. “Pun Randall. Geraldine Cage wishes to leave her quiet ways to Nancy Conner and hopes that it will do some good. Prentiss Ferguson leaves his way with women and his pretty black hair to Arnold Hodges. As these talents are the most popular in high school, Bessie Marguerite Tillery leaves her ability to get out of class and get to school late every morning to Emma McCurley. Even though they are nearly worn out. Garland Ann Beard wills her stepping-around shoes and night-owl ways to Sally Lowry and Deloris Havard. Bobby Priest, who everyone knows has a great love for teachers and school, wills this love to John Mobley. To Jimmie Huff, Wendell Beverly and Thomas A. Waddell will their places in the world of business. Last but certainly not least, Billy Martens leaves all of his flirtatious ways to Jamie Hill. In witness whereof we, the class of 1955, the testator, have set our hand and seal on this 22 day of September in the year 1955. Class History The history of the class of '55 can be divided into three parts: Discovery, Exploration, and Settlement. DISCOVERY The discovery of the class of 1955 was an accident. Twelve years ago, early one morn- ing on the 3rd of September, 1943, the second day of school, the faculty of Woodville Elementary School was hurrying down the halls, busily preparing for the work of the coming year. Suddenly they caught a glimpse of something new and strange. Just inside the front door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, were the members of what became the class of 1955. To the casual eye they seemed merely an ordinary group of scared little first graders, armed with pencils, book sacks and lunch boxes. But at that time neither they nor their teachers knew that they would receive the reputation as the worst class in school. EXPLORATION Time flew by rapidly. How can we ever forget Miss Dooley, Mrs. Sessions, Miss Smith, Mrs. Lotta, Miss Sarah or any of the other teachers who labored so diligently to teach us the three R's? At last we reached a goal. Thirty eight excited eighth graders received certif- icates of graduation from the Woodville Elementary School. The next year we entered high School as green freshmen We had a new superintendent and several new teachers. Highlights of our freshman year were Freshman Day and the parties arranged by our sponsor, Miss Betty Jo Denson. We were always taking the wrong turn, finding ourselves in the wrong classroom and arriving at class half an hour later. Because of our skill in acquiring the customs of the school, we were renamed Sophomores and the process was called by a native name promotion . Remembering the scorn with which we had been regarded we now adopted the same attitude toward the incoming Freshmen. We had as our sponsor. Miss Pearl Lewis. For the first time we were allowed to elect some subjects, so we were not all in the same classes. Then came our Junior year. It was one of the most exciting years in our memories. We had a lot of hard work but all was fun. Our sponsors were Mrs. Bob Hartness and Mr. Jessie Reed. They helped us establish a junior store, which netted a fine profit. They also assisted us with our Junior Play entitled The Perfect Idiot. ” After much planning and consideration we finally accomplished our goal, a Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. The theme was Good-by and Good Luck. This left many things to be remembered in the future years. Last but not least comes our Senior year, the most important year of all. With 31 dignified seniors our membership now stands as: Joyce Anderson, Garland Ann Beard, Wendell Beverly, Gerry Cage, Norman Carter, Mark Curry, Henry D’Aquilla, Sylvester D'Aquilla, Ted Denstel, Prentiss Ferguson, Marilyn Flaccomio, Emile Habig, Celeste Hutson, Brandon Inman, Clyde Leake, Billy Martens, Ted Nowell, Charles Alvin Plitt, Martha Jane Pogue, Bobby Priest, Gwen Stuart, Charles Sturgeon, H. L. Stutzman, John E. Thomas, Bessie Tillery, ThomasA. Waddell, Edward Walker, Pearl Walker, Junior David, Nelda Summrall, and Sylvia Ann Evans. Our sponsors are Mrs. Nolan McCraine and Coach George Gonda. With their constant guidance and support we hope to give a senior play and plan a senior trip that will always be remembered. SETTLEMENT The period settlement is not easy to describe. Nothing remains for long but it appears that the memories of Woodville School will always remain with us. Some of us have chosen our future work, but most of us are still undecided. We have many heartaches and many precious memories as we come to the close of our high school career. We all realize how true are the words of our motto, Not finished - just begun. Celeste Hutson Garland Ann Beard Nelda Sumrall Class Prophecy Class of 1954-1955 ten years from now: James Ted Nowell is a member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, president of the Perfection Film Company, which turns out three hundred sixty-five ten-reel films each year, one per day. In his employ are heroines in the world of beauty, the most shapely bathing girls, and the bravest heroes. Among his best known films are Oroastus, a Greek Epic, and The Multiplication Tables, a problem play. Hobby: making money. Clubs: Film Fanatics; Fade-Out and Close-Up Society. Hubert Mark Curry is a famous inventor. He is married to Mary Moneybags, daughter of the multimillionaire, T. Goofus Moneybags. Has invented over one thousand laborsaving devices, all of which are blessings to humanity. Among the best-known products of his agile brain are: Rest-well mattresses for oyster beds, Boomerang collar buttons guaranteed to return to the hand that lost them, Inde- structible leads for silver pencils, and exercises for reducing one's income tax. Hobby: reading detective stories and trying to solve the mysteries. Club: Amalgamated Tinkers. Thomas Arnold Waddell is the owner and manager of the huge chain of restaurants known all over the world as the Eat and Run Restaurants. He is self made and prides himself on his rise from proprietor of a hot dog stand on South Street to owner of one hundred plate glass white front restaurants. He is married to Glenda Gayle, the champion pan-cake flopper of the state. Hobby: analyzing hash. Club: United Restaurant Keepers of the World. John Edward Thomas is an orchestra leader and composer of distinction. He is married to Joan Trillalotta, leading soprano of the Cosmopolitan Opera Company. For the last five years he has been the leader of the Phildiscordant Orchestra and the Air Force Band. Composer of The Third Floor Suite, “ Concerto in A Flat, and Air for the Saxophone and the Tuba. Hobby; raising Airdales, as they remind him of his musicians. Clubs: The Independent Order of Piccolo Players; The Conductor's Club. Clyde Brandon Leake is not a modern type. He is persevering, not easily discour- aged, and never gives up. He finds it hard to fit into the life of today, but one great opening awaits him. In this great age of endurance contests, he is the champion of champions by simply making up his mind what he wants to do and doing it. He has become America's champion pole sitter, non-stop aviator, radio listener, marathon dancer, bicycle rider, pretzel eater, and mammy singer. He is the world's undisputed channel swimmer as, once dropped in, he swims back and forth until his manager remembers to come and fish him out. Albert Brandon Inman, a rare type, is of great interest to a psychiatrist. He has a double complex. As a result, his reactions range from blackest despair to sitting on top of the world. He starts a thing in one mood and finishes in another. The result is always confusing and sometimes deplorable. His vocation is, of necessity, one not bound by rule or reason, a sort of combination steeplejack and deep-sea diver, as it were. He is something in which stability, good judgment, open-mindedness, and lack of prejudice are unessential. He is a baseball umpire and a referee of foot- ball games. James Emil Habig, three times Governor of the state of Angola, is the leader of the new Progressive party. His motto is All for one and that one me. He was candidate for the Presidency last year and defeated by one vote, cast by his campaign manager. Unmarried. Clubs: Mystic Morons; Governor's League; and Knights of Festivity. George Prentiss Ferguson is a stolid, slow-moving chap, who will never display either speed or animation. He can be trusted implicitly never to hurry. He has found his proper position in life early. He is a plumber's assistant—the one who goes back for the monkey wrench and can't find it. Henry Joseph D’Aquilla has an athletic body and a lethargic mind. He likes to sit and watch things. His calm disposition, combined with his ingrained inertness, make him the ideal type for a sports promoter. He keeps a racing stable. He had a race track built up the side of a house, keeps a stable of racing snails, lies back in a hammock, and gazes at the cool gray stone of the track, as his faithful snails crawl on and up to victory. Sylvester John D'Aquilla is a splendid example of perfect self-control. He never stutters or stammers, never hesitates for a word, has no complexes and no bad habits of any kind. He can talk very rapidly. His enunciation is so pertect that he seems to take the syllables out of a word, dust them off, and put them back again. And his pronunciation! He can say Tschaikowsky, ” nuance, the names of the members of the Russian Choir, adieu, and Saint Saens, without mislaying a consonant or misplacing a vowel. He had been awarded a gold medal by the International Acad- emy for the Preservation of Speech as the World's most redoubtable radio announcer. Marilyn Rega Flaccomio, a social leader, is the wife of Basil Bates, the stock- broker. She is noted for her lavish and charming hospitality, particularly to visiting celebrities, having recently entertained the Prince of Wales, the King of Senegambia, and Ronell Pierce. Because of her delicate beauty, she has been painted by Van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Michaelangelo. Wendell Bowen Beverly is now the head of Beverly's Better Businesses, which is a chain of groceries. He has gotten so prosperous that he has hired a dance hall girl to count his money. Club: United Food Sellers of America. Gwendolyn Ann Stuart: Not having an ambitious mind and being of the quiet type, Gwen is now a house-wife. William Fredrick Martens is a Rear Admiral. He is a naval officer and target- shooting expert. He won the battle of Puget Sound and Hudson Bay in the last war between Daylight-Saving-Timers and Anti-Daylight-Saving Timers. He is noted for his inability to learn to swim and his skill in singing sea chanteys. It is believed that because of his remarkable radio broadcasts on Deep Sea Navigation Beyond the Rockies, he will receive a promotion being made a Force Admiral. Geraldine Cage is a composite type, with no inhibitions and few ideas, and she loves publicity. She has a good strong voice, can sing two entire songs without losing the tune and doesn't mind doing anything, no matter how silly, so long as she is well paid for it. Norman Carter has been honorably discharged from the army and is now a Fuller Brush salesman. His brushes have made him a small fortune and he is content with life. Margaret Pearl Walker is a nervous, inquisitive type. She is a reporter and, be- cause of her intense interest in everybody's business and her cast-iron nerve which enables her to penetrate where she is not wanted, without embarrassment, she is an excellent one. She is a national celebrity known as Polly Pry of the Graphic News. She is so alert that she interviews a criminal while he is committing the crime and gets tomorrows news last week. Bobby Gene Priest is an interesting case. An overdeveloped imagination and an underdeveloped digestion are producing a wonderful result--the ability to concoct the weirdest tales at practically a minute’s notice. He has become a real estate sales- man, selling Florida lots by the gross to the inhabitants of Labrador, and igloos to the dwellers of the Sahara. I see Ted Denstel amid a yelling throng, under powerful lights. His hand is being held high by a worried-looking gentleman. He is being hailed as the world's heavyweight champion in the Colosseum at Rome, now the International Stock Exchange. Charles Alvin Plitt has become a writer. He is the author of two of the six worst sellers on the market and will soon have another finished. He has become quite famous. Edward Walker, because he always liked good associates, has become a conduc- tor on the Broadway Limited. He meets many distinguished people like Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, and Ike himself. Club: Modern Conductors. In the years to come I see H. L. Stutzman as an astronomer, comfortably re- clining on some tropical beach and dreamily gazing at the stars with his beautiful assistant. He howls at the moon and dreams of the day he can go to Mars. Nelda Elaine Sumrall is a charming type, domestic and capable, but with a slight inferiority complex, due to the unfortunate fact that once she received only sec- ond prize in an international bread-baking contest. She has grown fat as the result of eating her own cooking, but she will always be cheerful and a model housekeeper. Cania Celeste Hutson has become an usher in a big movie theatre. It was the only way she could see the shows. She probably enjoys the picture the twentieth time she sees it as well as the first. Bessie Marguerite Tillery is the sixtieth President of the United States of Dogpatch. She has been active in politics since infancy and is especially noted for her unique foreign policy. It has not yet been made public and probably never will be. Charles Ellis Sturgeon has become a major in the array. He spends most of his spare time trying to persuade Phyllis to join the WACs. Hobby: Shooting Pigeons. Sylvia Aon Evans, B. S., A. B., M. A., Ph. D. , D. D. S., F. O. B., and S. O. S., has been dean of the Dormitory College for Girls for the past ten years and an educator of note. She is the author of What Isn't Wrong With Education, and How to Teach Russian to a Low I. Q. She prides herself on having the most expensive and best college in America. Garland Ann Beard has artistic ability, keen business sense, and an understanding of the so-called human race. She is now proprietor of Ye Beautifier Shoppy. She has become the most famous skin renovator and face lifter in the world and always will be an excellent advertisement for her business. Martha Jane Pogue belongs to the great body of people who have a superiority complex. Her delight and skill in getting others to work while she watches, and her ability to answer all questions, sometimes correctly, to say nothing of the snappy and forceful manner in which she orders other people around, point to but one calling--that of a school-teacher. Fifty years from now, gray-haired, perhaps, and a trifle wrinkled, but young at heart and still going strong, she will still be found in our school, bossing not only her own pupils, but everybody on her floor. Anthony David Jr. is a poet of the new school. He is the author of Owed to a Tailor, Lines on a Lady’s Face, ” and Sonnets to a Sunflower. He is unmarried, but he is frequently reported engaged. Katherine Joyce Anderson is a teacher of auction, duplicate, and contract bridge, a successor to Work, Whitehead, and Lenz. She is the winner of the International Bridge Tournament for fifteen consecutive years. She is famed for her system of penalties to be imposed for trumping partner's ace, losing the lead, forgetting the bid, and saying What's trumps?
